Don't get your panties in a twist people...It wasn't meant as snarky...more tongue in cheek. ;)

And hundreds meaning "The amount of people currently employed by Taco Bell in a full time capacity ratio'd to the amount of people who dine at Taco Bell"

The chain that owns Taco Bell (Pepsico) has been eliminating full time employment in it's restaurant branch for years, and not due to rising costs of employee benefits, but due to the rising cost of corn and the increasing use of automation processes. To remain competitive in the market place you must offer goods or services at a price point that many people are willing to pay. If the cost of a taco rises to $3, not many will continue going. Since you can't DECREASE the supply cost associated with producing your product, the next logical thing to do is DECREASE your labor costs.

It's simple capitalism.

I don't see what the big deal is about the retail/food service industry cutting hours to save cost. The money they need to spend on Washington lobbyists and election campaigns doesn't grow on trees you know.

I'm pretty sure the 100's of people affected by this FAR outweigh the millions who would refuse to pay $3 for a crappy taco to support it.

"...and the economy will suffer, because the health care laws are here to stay."

You could say that again, but I just did for you.

LMFAO, the employer holds the cards., Can't work the schedule move the fuck down the yellow brick road. Fuck the Wizard, he is just goofball behind a curtain.

What you obviously do not understand is that Obama care will grant you health care at reduced prices regardless of how many hours you work.

What will happen as a result of this is that new laws will be made protecting workers working for more than one employer... Forcing employers to work with the worker's schedules and the economy will suffer, because the health care laws are here to stay.

Don't you just love your version of reality when a wide-nosed pork monster who supports the usury of the NYSE creates a swingers topic all about health care?!~

My wife provides insurance to part timers after one year of service. That will probably change with the skyrocketing costs. We discussed it and either she will fire all part time employees or reduce their hours and take away the insurance.
